With a mix of Spanish-colonial history, ethnic tapestry, and beautiful natural trails, Albuquerque is the largest city in New Mexico. The city has a high desert climate that brings together a bewildering contrast between clear blue skies, majestic pink rocky Sandia mountains, and lush green pine and fir trees along the valley. With 34 state parks, 5 national forests, and 26 wilderness spaces, ABQ is one of the world's most spectacular attractions for all marathoners and hiking enthusiasts. For running communities in ABQ, the Rinconada Canyon Loop, ABQ BioPark Botanic Garden, Tingley Beach, Roosevelt Park, Cedro Peak, and Bernalillo are some of the best trails to explore. To end your running sessions, there is also an amazing opportunity to delve into arts, live performances, family-owned wineries, and so much more.
